Sue, Craig and Jo -
I found this essay by Aldous Huxley and was wondering if it could be included in this collection. It's the 5th chapter in a collection of essays by him that was published in 1923:
Title: Water Music
Author: Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)
Text URL: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/60866/60866-h/60866-h.htm
Duration: 8:01

Hi Lynnet, Thank you for this useful introduction to classical music! "As listeners we derive our highest æsthetic and intellectual satisfaction from the ability to follow, even anticipate, the composer's intention, now finding our expectations fulfilled, now being agreeably disappointed."Lynnet wrote: ↑May 21st, 2020, 5:51 am How to Listen to Music by Aubertine Woodward Moore

I like it when we have recordings "playing off each other" in a NSF Collection, as we have here with your "How to Listen to Music" and JachinandBoaz' "Water Music." I can imagine someone downloading Volume 075, thinking they were going to find out about Handel's Water Music and finding their expectations "agreeably disappointed."

Hi Daniel, Craig is dedicated proof listener (DPL), but I check the file names and specs; I notice that you missed the "snf075" on both your titles.JachinandBoaz wrote: ↑May 20th, 2020, 10:21 am Sue, Craig and Jo -

Your file names should have this format before you upload them: snf075_titleofwork_authorlastname_yourinitials_128kb.
Could you please fix the file names and upload the corrected files. Also, please then post the files here on the thread, so we can update the Magic Window (MW). Thanks!

Hi Dale, Thanks for this! I agree with you about the relevancy of Twain's analysis; there is sometimes a difference between perceived and statistical danger. That said, what got me out of bed rather quickly this morning was the shrill beep from an outdated battery in one of my many, mandated by local code, ceiling mounted, fire and carbon monoxide alarms. Oh wow, I thought, which one was that as I stumbled sleepily downstairs for the step ladder, which I ascended three times before I located the beeping alarm, and noted that I'd last visited that battery on December 10, 2016. If Twain were writing today, he'd probably come up with the statistics for fatalities caused by falling off step ladders while changing alarm batteries...

Thanks for catching that, Sue! I re-uploaded both of them after I added snf075 to the file name. Here are the links for the file:Sue Anderson wrote: ↑May 21st, 2020, 12:57 pm
